Welsh pop punk band Junior are back for another Deadbolt gig! Since playing the Deadbolt Festival in 2017, they released their second album – Beautiful Life – and have toured all over the UK.

Bristol based alt band Downcast have been storming the scene since 2018 and plan to release their debut album next year. This July they released Britannia Mills to a great reception, Kerrang! Magazine said “the sheer effort, execution and honesty here mark downcast out as a treat for those with lost souls and broken hearts.’

His debut album “To Bloom Is To Grow” is due to be released on November 5th so this is a great  chance for fans to get a sneak peak of what is to come.

 

All Hallows Eve will see the return of two Deadbolt favourites – Jon Mahon and Sean Smith. When he’s not DJing on Kerrang! Radio during the day, or leading teams on Rock The Week, Jon Mahon’s high energy clubnight sets get everyone up moving without fail with his mix of alternative and EDM music. With Sean Smith’s natural charisma as a frontman for The Blackout and Raiders and as a host for Sappenin’ Podcast, it’s no wonder he can get a crowd dancing. Both guest DJs will be in the main room helping the Deadbolt DJs to bring the party with the best in emo, pop punk, metal and alternative anthems in the main room.

Deadbolt brings in guest DJ Tasmin Taylor for an All Time Low vs Paramore Special in Liverpool

Deadbolt Liverpool - All Time Low vs Paramore ft Tasmin Taylor - Sep 21 - Red Cardinal Music

On Friday 24th September, Deadbolt will be bringing a customer favourite theme – All Time Low vs Paramore – to The Shipping Forecast in Liverpool with help from guest DJ Tasmin Taylor!

Both bands have been played since the beginning of Deadbolt in 2011 and are massively loved by the crowd. Deadbolt DJs, along with Tasmin Taylor, will be throwing in the biggest hits, cult favourites and hidden gems from both bands throughout the night in addition to the usual Deadbolt hits.

All Time Low are a huge crowd pleaser at Deadbolt – Alex Gaskarth and Jack Barakat have even DJed at Deadbolt in the past! All Time Low’s energetic classics such as “Dear Maria, Count Me In” and “Weightless” have been Deadbolt favourites from day one with the newer hits such a “Love Like War” (ft Vic Fuentes of Pierce The Veil) and Dirty Laundry becoming anthems too.

From Paramore’s earlier pop rock hits such as Misery Business and Crushcrushcrush to the newer poppier track such as Hard Times and Rose-Coloured Boy, Deadbolt’s crowd is always ready to bounce around and scream their lungs out to their singles.

Known for her energy and passion for all things alt, Tasmin Taylor has made a name for herself DJing all across the UK at variety of different clubnights, festivals and other events. During the lockdown, she entertained us all with her popular streams – ranging from Disney nights to full on alt/pop punk themed sets – and with the fun mash ups created by her DJ duo Hang The DJs with DJ Zavi. She recently became one of the team captains for the weekly online quiz show Rock The Week on The Heavy Network and also DJed at the Download Festival Pilot. Now that the entertainment business is getting back in full swing, Tasmin is making waves with appearances at established clubnights across the UK and promises a very interactive and energetic experience every time. 

The All Time Low vs Paramore Special is sponsored by Fireball who will be providing giveaways to win on the night!

Join the Facebook event to make song requests. If your birthday is in September, contact the Deadbolt facebook page to be added to the birthday list for free goodies.

Advance tickets for Deadbolt All Time Low vs Paramore Special with Tasmin Taylor can be purchased from See Tickets, Skiddle, Fatsoma, Ticketline, Ticketweb and our website for just £3.

Tickets can be purchased on the door during the night at £4 before midnight and £5 after midnight. Students will get a reduced price of £3 all night when with a valid student card.

Alternative Party Clubnight Deadbolt Celebrate Their Tenth Birthday With Guest-Filled Parties In Manchester and Liverpool

Alternative party clubnight, Deadbolt, are celebrating their tenth birthday with a two room party at Night People in Manchester on Saturday 7th August and a double venue party at The Shipping Forecast and Jimmy’s in Liverpool on Friday 30th July.

Deadbolt is known in Manchester and Liverpool as a chaotic clubnight where people can enjoy a party vibe a little different from the traditional clubbing experiences. Deadbolt creates a house party atmosphere with live performances, interactive games and giveaways – and all of this is to a mix of emo, metal, rock, pop punk and alternative anthems.

Although their main clubnights are based in Manchester and Liverpool, in the last ten years, Deadbolt has been involved with events in other cities including London, Edinburgh, Bangor, Dublin, Bristol, York, Sheffield and Charlotte (North Carolina, USA). They have seen guest appearances from many acts within the alternative scene including Benji Webbe (Skindred), Tek-One, Bury Tomorrow, All Time Low and Hot Milk.

As with previous years, Deadbolt’s birthday will be celebrated with live music from some of the UK’s best upcoming alternative bands followed by club nights jam-packed with giveaways and guest DJs.

In Manchester, the birthday celebrations will start at 5.30pm with live performances from Raiders, Where Oceans Burn, Hometruths, Our City Fires, Medlock and Aleya.

In Liverpool, the birthday celebrations will begin at 7pm with live performances at The Shipping Forecast from Raiders, Rosen Bridge, Decay, Passionflower and Overset.

For both cities, the main clubnight will feature Deadbolt resident DJs with guest sets from some of Deadbolt’s most energetic returning guests – post-hardcore giants Funeral For A Friend, Kerrang! Radio DJ Jon Mahon and Sean Smith (ex-The Blackout, Raiders and Sappenin’ Podcast).

During both events there will be opportunities for party goers to participate in party games to win goodies from friends of Deadbolt. In Manchester, giveaways will come from Reap What You Sow Clothing, Fireball Whisky, You’re So Cool Prints and Good Omens Tattoo. In Liverpool giveaways will come from Fireball Whisky, You’re So Cool Prints and NRTH.

The Manchester birthday party will see the launch of Deadbolt’s new second room – Catalyst. Catalyst’s music policy is pure nostalgia with an aim to remind people of the music that introduced them to the alternative scene. For the debut outing, Deadbolt have reunited several DJs from the legendary Manchester rock club Rock Kitchen to take over the room for the night.

While Deadbolt and guests celebrate at Jimmy’s in Liverpool, Deadbolt’s sister brand Boneyard will be throwing the second Liverpool clubnight in The Shipping Forecast. Resident Boneyard DJ Mike Harper Lee will be playing the best in metal, hardcore, nu metal, industrial, metalcore, progressive and other metal subgenres.

Liam Connolly, founder and director of Deadbolt, said: “When we started out, our main aim was to create a chaotic night that stood out from other alternative nights by pulling together the best brands in the scene for games, fun challenges and giveaways. Our music policy has always been to play a mix of the classics whilst also championing the newer bands on the scene, which is why it’s so important for us to mix the live and party elements for our birthday bashes. The last decade has given us some fantastic memories and these birthday events are our way of celebrating those by bringing together our friends for a huge party!”

He added: “We’ve always had a loyal and fun loving crowd and without them we wouldn’t be celebrating such a big milestone. Since the birthday parties are our first events of 2021, we wanted to make sure we pulled together something extra special for them. Luckily for us, we have some extremely talented friends within the alt scene that are always up for helping up to create the party vibe! We look forward to more exciting events going into our eleventh year.”

Tickets for this event are available via the Red Cardinal Music website, See Tickets, Skiddle, Fatsoma, Ticketweb and Ticketline. To find out more, visit the Deadbolt’s social media pages below.
